Summary

They called him Hissrad, once. ‘Keeper of secrets.’ And even though they took his name away, he never wavered in his duty or his role. Oh, some say he failed the Qun, others say he left it behind, but none of them knew that he held the biggest secret of them all behind all those rippling muscles and swagger. A secret that could take down an empire, if he ever let it free, or so he says. But he never would. And in that, he served the Qun more faithfully than even the most devout.

Summary

“I’d follow you across the world, Kassandra. I’d live everyday of my life for you. If you think this is too fast, and you’d like to slow it down, just tell me. I’d understand, and follow your lead. But the token and the flowers are my offer to you: your answer doesn’t have to be today, or even tomorrow. As long as you know my offer stands, and I stand with it.”
